Just read on twitter he's been charged with Abh for his alleged attack on Stendel - anybody else heard anything?
Not seen anything mate i'm going to assume if this is the case it'll be all over the web in the next few hour EDIT: Joey Barton charged over Barnsley Incident just announced on sky sports news
This is football. 3 years, 5 years, whatever....reality he will still be creaming £1m plus from the game this time next year, either as a gaffer or a pundit.
Let us just remember we have one of our own players who has been charged with assault. If we are going down the path of saying he’s innocent until proven guilty then we should do the same for Mr Barton. No matter how much of a bellend he is.
Lets be honest, with the lenient sentences our judiciary hands out to persistent criminals he’ll get fook all other than a suspended sentence and community work, £80 victim surcharge and a lifetime ban from Oakwell. The F A should get involved when he’s been convicted and ban the fecker for life.
Don't be so daft. One is a young kid, whose brother was murdered & has ended up on the wrong side of the tracks. The other is a football manager & former pundit with previous for violent offences. If both of them are convicted fair enough, they will serve their sentences & I assume Wilks will be released, if he gets a custodial one, but for me the two things can't be compared like that.
